RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05375 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 1.  Her Air Force Commendation Medal (AFCM) First Oak Leaf Cluster (OLC), dated 10 Sep 09, be removed from her record and replaced with the Meritorious Service Medal (MSM) Second OLC, dated 3 Nov 10. (Administratively resolved) 2.  The AF Form 973, Air Force Request and Authorization for Change of Administrative Orders, revoking her AFCM be removed from her military records. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Her servicing Military Personnel Flight (MPF) failed to properly resolve this issue. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant served in the Regular Air Force in the grade of major (O-4) during the matter under review. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memoranda prepared by the Air Force offices of primary responsibility (OPR), which are attached at Exhibits C and D. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSID does not make a recommendation. The applicant was awarded the AFCM (1OLC) per special order G-413, dated 10 Sep 09. The original award approval authority has since revoked this decoration and AFPC/DPSID removed the medal from the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS), per AF Form 973, Special Order G-197. The applicant has subsequently been awarded the MSM (2OLC) per Special Order I-066, dated 3 Nov 10. The record has been corrected. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPSIR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The applicant is requesting the removal of the AF Form 973, dated 26 Feb 14, directing the revocation of her AFCM. However, this source document needs to remain in her ARMS record in the event another copy of the revoked award turns up. Without the source document, the award would be inappropriately reloaded into the member’s permanent record, creating the same problem being addressed today. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIR evaluation is at Exhibit D. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 21 Jul 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations. 2.  The application was timely filed. 3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of AFPC/DPSIR and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief. THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
